   @joss, the Journal of Open Source Software, is now in the fediverse. The journal is remarkable for multiple reasons, with one reason being that papers are authored in #Markdown and processed by #pandoc.

     Of course, all of the journal's systems are open source. E.g., the publishing pipeline is available here:
     https://github.com/openjournals/inara
     The pipeline currently produces #PDF, #JATS, and #Crossref XML output.

     If only @joss was around while I was in grad school, I would have had way more papers! I'm so glad to see this trend in academia and the recognition that good software is worthy of publication.

     @mattkram @joss one issue for the wider audience is that #JOSS is not included in all databases (e.g. #pubmed), thus it has less visibility. Moreover, it not indexed in #scopus or #WOS to get ''meaningful'' measures like the #impactfactor .
     For those who need numbers:
     #Exaly (https://exaly.com/journal/106890/journal-of-open-source-software) and #googlescholar cover it.
     However, I see the merits of their approach and can tell that the review/publishing process is #SOTA.
